Hello everyone.
I would like to say I'm extremely sorry to keep posting but I am really excited about this hackintosh stuff.
It feels amazing to run a Yosemite on my PC. However I would ideally love to have a Windows 7 next to it, as a dual boot.
I started off by following some YouTube videoguide but failed miserably. After doing a ton of research I started to get a hang of it. Now all this Disk Partitioning and stuff is EZ PZ. I started to follow THIS guide.
I did everything exactly as the 2nd guide below '' Installing Win8 and Mountain Lion on the same HDD '' I was told this method works for Win7 & Yosemite combo too.
I booted OS X installer with UniBeast and went to Disk Utility. I divided my 250 GB Samsung EVO 840 SSD into 2 Partitions. As the guide told me, make the 1st Partition Win7 based (MS-DOS [FAT]) and 2nd Partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I did that. I also wanted to have 1 TB per OS from my 2TB HDD so I divided that into 2 Partitions just like I did for the SSD.
After that, guide tells you to proceed with installation of Windows 7. I install Windows 7 without a problem into my 120GB SSD Partition and in Windows, I create a new Partition from the 1 TB as a Storage drive. After installing motherboard drivers and NVIDIA drivers I shut down. Boot from the UniBeast USB and start the installation of OSX Yosemite.
Everything runs smoothly with my appropriate boot flags. I once get an error whilst installing about some package. I can't remember, but after booting again with -v in the end of my bootflags (nv_disable=1 maxmem=4096 -v). I end up installing OS X Yosemite just fine. I install MultiBeast stuff appropriated to my Z97P-D3 and whatnot. I still don't know what EXACTLY to pick but after research I was confident to pick what I did. I did include Bootloader Chimera in it because I went by the guide.
Then I restart into OSX Yosemite again, to check if everything is fine. Audio works from front panel of my case. Only thing that didn't come with MultiBeast was Trim Enabler?
So now to the real problem.
After using Yosemite and setting it up for a while (because I already had set up default Windows 7.) I wanted to test Bootloader. I take off the UniBeast USB and start my computer. IT WORKS! I get into the Bootloader with 3 different icons.
1. Windows NTFS (I assume this is the Windows 7)
2. OSX (Yosemite)
3. Windows 32FAT (What the heck is this?)
Well time for testing. I wanted to test Yosemite first, I don't know why. It works. Check.
I boot again, here comes the issue. I press the first (1.) icon, Windows NTFS. Only message I get is BOOTMGR MISSING PRESS CTR ALT DEL TO RESTART.
I try Windows 32FAT if it would be it. I get a black/grey flickering screen straight out of a horror movie with a _ flicking in the left upper corner.
My Yosemite still works just fine. What has happened to my Windows? I still prompt. I followed the guide IMHO 99% correctly with every BIOS setting to Partitioning.
